as for my supra swap troubles and the 1J...
The 1J fits perfectly into a JZA80 chassis (93+) if it's from a soarer, supra 1J is lots of work.
However the supra 1J fits into the JZA70 chassis, which is 88-92 supra here.
I bought one 1J that I got scammed on and never got my money back (one day I will track the fucker down), bought another one off ebay which was actually from a Soarer, and finally bought a third which I went and picked up with a minivan from Avis rentals after I pulled out the back seat. I eventually sold the Soarer 1J for close to the price I bought it for.
Despite all of this, I love the engine. It loves to rev and does so very freely, plus the stock ceramic turbos spool up stupid fast. Too bad they aren't worth anything over 14psi, but it'll be fun until they disintegrate.
